Yesterday was Ian and Tina's wedding so I knew I wouldn't get to speak to teenagedethgrrl very much but to my surprise she appeared on MSN at what was early afternoon in Las Vegas. We didn't chat for very long but she was adamant that she would make sure she was back online later. I waited up until gone 2am doing what I could in Levenshulme before going to bed ( Read more... )

I managed to get out shopping as planned. Went to Netto and got the drill I wanted and the saw I wanted. I was going to do a proper food shop as well but there were long queues at the checkouts and I didn't fancy holding 2 relatively heavy boxes for that long while balancing other shopping. But I did get the essential coffee that I needed and some ( Read more... )

Well I slept pretty well last night. I was up until abour 2:3pam chatting online to teenagedethgrrl from her hotel room in Las Vegas. We had to give up on trying to speak to each other over Skype as the delay was far too bad last night for some reason but IM over MSN was fine even on my phone without a wifi connection. I had worried that I wouldn't sleep as all ( Read more... )

Last night teenagedethgrrl eventually made it online much later than I had expected. for some reason I was missing her much more last night and that kind of expectation that happens when seeing someone special the next day. We chatted lots an it was gone 4am UK time by the time I finally settled down for sleep ( Read more... )

A day spemt in Longsight has yielded progress :)
I got the sofas moved around, decided I didn't like them that way so had another move around much the annoyance of milliedog who was trying to sleep on the big sofa! Once those were in a position I was happy with I moved the bookcase from one alcove to the other and scratched my head about what to do next ( Read more... )

Well teenagedethgrrl left for America yesterday morning and has arrived safely in San Francisco. Understandably she went to bed early and I spoke to earlier today - morning for her and afternoon for me. For some reason she is missing home already when she should be enjoying her holiday ( Read more... )

I think I have an arm and a leg missing!!!

Somehow with all the Shoples activity recently my Virgin bill didn't get paid. I should have been paying more attention really as I knew my bank were being funny with automatic payments but got home Monday after Gawsworth Craft Fair to find very limited television channels and no internet access. After a ( Read more... )

I was going to write this entry on the train journey back from town yesterday but could not get a mobile internet connection...I find that quite incredible and worrying in the middle of Manchester! So instead I'm updating from the comfort of my bed where I shouldn't be ( Read more... )

I've just come downstairs and made the usual first cup of coffee.....
However, for the first time in about a week I have also made a cup of tea for teenagedethgrrl - this might not sound like much but in fact it is quite exciting. She drinks lots and lots of tea! But with recent 'illness' she has been completely off tea and, for the last few days, completely ( Read more... )

My body really is not that used to being up and about at this time of day but I have an ESA interview thingy at Longsight jobcentre at 9am so it has to be. I have coffee and considering the time I am reasonably alert!!! However, I do know that getting myself up is only half the battle - getting teenagedethgrrl out of bed and ready is much more difficult. We ( Read more... )
